I have a double sink so I half fill the small sink with hot water and a squirt of dish washing liquid-economises on hot water. This is good for washing knives etc. between uses on different ingredients when I'm cooking. It's also hygienic.

Sometimes when you're home alone it can be easy to leave the breakfast & lunch dishes 'cos there don't seem many. But it's easier to start cooking the evening meal if all the dishes are done !

It usually isn't very greasy - or at least not in our house :)<br /><br />Glassware and mugs are next because they can be greasy too, but not as messy as dinner plates.<br /><br />By the way, does everyone know that you should always rinse glassware, mugs, jugs and baby bottles that have had milk or cream in them in cold water before washing? If you rinse in hot water or just put them straight into the hot water to wash, the fat from the milk will smear. Rinse in cold water, the fat congeals and is rinsed out - even if you can't see it, it is there.Cath Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982092492622482815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-79462994622922478922012-03-15T15:01:24.963+11:002012-03-15T15:01:24.963+11:00I would definitely wash the GLASSWARE FIRST follow...I would definitely wash the GLASSWARE FIRST followed by cups mugs saucers (all the less "dirty" dishes) followed by pots and pans used for steaming veggies (ie non greasy) then cutlery dinner plates (soup bowls etc) and then greasy cookware. <br />AND YES, definitely RINSE before stacking in dishrack to drain - I like to let them drain and then polish with cotton or linen teatowel - pots and pans with ordinary tea towels. Stacked away - wipe down the sink and draining boards and dish rack pop everything away - and the sink will shine.<br />Stack away everything you can possibly stack away and your kitchen will always be READY for anything even visitors.

I have had very heated arguments with people who wash their dishes, glasses, cups and cutlery in hot soapy water and just drain them in the drainer and then go out and spend a fortune on organic food!!! At least the sprays and additives in the food have been approved to be "eaten"! Dish washing liquid is not. <br /> <br />Thanks.<br /> <br />SilviaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
